Youthful Insanity (A Rock Lee fanfic)

Gai-sensei

Gai-sensei was returning to Konoha late at night after a mission, too tired to even jump over rooftops, so the man was just walking home. He started to pass an alley and stopped because theres this sound coming from the alley.

He turns and peers in, squinting hard to try and make out anything when he finally picks out a dark figure. He's identified the sound. Dragging. Slick, wet, and scraping against the ground. Then the giggling. The dark malicious giggling that doesn't stop. Gai-sensei wants to leave but he finds something familiar about it. The streetlight flickers off and on.

Gai backs up.

The figure enters the light.

Lee is soaked in blood, hand to his face and laughing insanely. In his hand is a large bloody sack being dragged on the ground, leaving a smeared trail of blood after it. He smiles at Gai-sensei and Gai is terrified. His smile is

Too

Wide.

Gai never had really paid attention to how many teeth a person had, but in that moment it looked like Lee's mouth was full of them. Too many for a normal human."Gai-sensei! I am so glad to see you! I have done something that you will be so proud of!" Lee drags the bag forward.

Gai wants to run, something is wrong, but this is his student. He cant just leave him. Lee slowly opens up the sack and Gai reluctantly looks in.

Gai stumbles back, hand over his mouth to hold back the repulsion. Lee pushes the bag over.

Heads roll. Many heads, hacked sloppily at the neck, arteries still leaking blood for some. All of their eyes were open, faces frozen in terror. Gai wanted to scream. To throw up. To run and never look back. "L-Lee... What have you done?"

"Sensei, these are all the people who made fun of me at the Academy. I hunted them all down and took their heads. See Sensei? I am stronger than they are. Who is laughing now?" Lee spoke, eyes wide, blood still dripping down his face.

Blood that wasnt his.

He started laughing again, eyes bugged more than usual, and staring down at the heads. "Thank you sensei, for making me strong! Are you proud of me Sensei?" Gai is backing up, trying to get away. He can't bare it anymore. The smell, all the blood in his vision.

The blank

Empty stare.

"Sensei? Are you not proud of me?" Gai couldn't speak. He couldn't scream. Rock Lee's eyes turned dark. "Oh... You did not think I could actually do it. You did not...." Gai watched on in horror. He knew what was coming next. "Believe in me..." Lee's mouth slowly spread into that too wide grin.

"Then you must join them, Gai-sensei."

Gai's scream never left his throat before it was cut in half.

They found his body in the morning with no head, blood smeared everywhere. The sack smear continued on, leading to a dead end wall.

Lee still hasn't been caught.
